There's nothing wrong with Blackwell Hall Lane, and it works with some routes. They've resurfaced the lower part recently but the ridge of stones in the middle is building back up, and the surface higher up is pretty bad. On the whole I would suggest there are better routes up to Ley Hill. It's also a terrible rat run at commuter time.

There's nothing wrong with Blackwell Hall Lane, and it works with some routes. They've resurfaced the lower part recently but the ridge of stones in the middle is building back up, and the surface higher up is pretty bad. On the whole I would suggest there are better routes up to Ley Hill. It's also a terrible rat run at commuter time. I made the mistake of driving up there at a busy time recently and 8 or 10 cars sat for 10 minutes before all having to reverse down and find driveways to go into to make way for all the cars coming down. It would've been quicker to go via the centre of Chesham or else Latimer village, and maybe that's the lesson for cycling as well, although I've ridden it plenty of times when the roads are quiet.
